I was forever trying one method after another - rubber grippers, hot water, all the tricks my Mom taught me fifty years ago, including turning the job over to my husband.

Not any more! This works on every jar, every time.

You do have to select the right size opening, or it won't grip properly. It can be awkward opening very small jars (getting leverage with either the short open end, or with the large inner end, can be tricky, especially if your grip is weak). But medium- and large-size jars are a cinch.

My hands are almost useless due to a medical condition, but I can open ANYTHING with this product! I have tried many others and this is the only one that truly works, and works on all different sizes. I highly recommend it!

I am disabled and I struggle with arthritis and previous surgeries in both arms and hands. I am always asking someone to open jars and bottles for me. Even though I had purchased other openers in the pass that does not work for me. This has many uses in one item. Sturdy and takes up very little space.

This device does what it is intended to do. The variety of sizes of lids it can remove is pretty good. Unless you have a very large jar of something with a huge mouth to it, well, either way, I found this to be extremely useful. My only complaint is that in my opinion, it's unattractive. I have NO idea as to how that could really realistically, functionally be rectified. I to leave it hanging with other kitchen utensils, in plain sight, so that when I need it I won't forget I have it. IF there was a way to make it more aesthetically appealing and I found one that functions exactly the same as this one, for this price, I would toss this and buy the more attractive one. This otherwise serves it's purpose very effectively. VERY easy to use. I didn't have this a full day when a lid had to be removed from a bottle that caused me a bit of a struggle. To the rescue, this thing. Cap came right off REAL easy.

This item really works. This is the 2nd one I've bought. I've had it about 5 years, maybe more. It still works but I see signs of the rubber gasket getting loose and I don't want to take a chance on not having a working one handy.
